Stearns. A. R. Diamond ' and O. E. Watktns, all veteran dealers, were present and g-ave the benefit of their ex- penence Two Important cases - were : taken up before the Boon adjournment, tn each of which ' the assessor , waa sustained. These involved valuations at First and Washington streets and around the Pen' nriyer block,- which la bounded by Mor rison. Tenth, . Alder and West Park streets. Captain William Gadaby asked that his around valuation , of ; $S. 000 - for the .quarter at the north' west corner of First and Washing ton atreets be reduced. No definite ac tion was taken by the commissioners st the time, but the impression pre vailed that the proportion waa fair. Captain Gadsby precipitated a lively discussion regarding the relative worth of lower Washington and lower Morri son atreets ss retail property, ' Comparing- his assessment with the prop erty where Tull tt Qlbbs are located he . showed that the quarter for the latter building had been put at 199,000. "A location on lower Morrison , Is worth twice ss much aa one on lower Washington at the presents time for the retail business," declared the business man. "My. building has been reduced to 1S,000 while the Tull Glbba build ing Is held at 124,000. I am ready to day to sell my entire property at 175, 000, and would be willing to pay $140, ooo for the TuU tt Qlbbs property, or twice ss much as I will take for my own. This is not any fantastic prop osition, for I have offered $160,000 for the Second and Morrison property and have my own for.aala-ai 47,00When I caii get another location. -r "Lower Morrlaon street is 'the 'ave nue for most, I mi east siae iravej making it the most desirable retail sec tion in the city. .

Owners of the Pennoyer block, be t ween Morrison and Alder --and - West Park and Tenth streets, asked that the assessor's valuations be reduced trora $26,000 for. the lot at the southwest corner of West Park and $16,000 fdr the next lot south, on West Park. $20,000 for the next, $4t.00 tor the. lot on the northwest corner of West Park and Morrison, $40,000 for the lot on the northeast corner of Tenth and Morrison, $18,000 for the next one to the north, $12,000 tor the next north and $20,009 for the lot on the southeast corner of Tenth and Morrison. ' " " In the complaint It waa stated that the north half of this block, which was for a total of $72,000, was $12,000 too high, and the south half, which Is as sessed at $120,000, waa proportionately high. After careful canvassing of the contiguous values, the consulting board of real estate men decided that the value waa not too much, although It waa agreed that It .was slightly out of pro portion with the values on the" block next to the east. ; . . .
